My Opinion on Shipping:
I ship a few gay ships, in a fictional universe. I don't think they could ever happen, and I'm super happy that a pair I ship in the fictional universe are both happily dating two amazing girls. I don't hate on them for who they are, and I know that they are not gay (Speaking specifically at this moment of the septiplier ship), but in my fictional world, who knows? Hell, I dreamt last night that Dan Howell was my age and we were playing video games very happily together. Why? I have no idea, it's fictional life. I think people as of late have been taking things too far, and I don't believe that, that's how far you take a ship. You ship a ship separately from when you see them on the screen, it's a whole other thing. I don't comment things saying that they should date on their videos, or reply with tweets like that on Twitter. I interact with them as their real life self, as opposed to who I think of them as in my fictional universe.
There's a reason it's called fanfiction, and I think people need to remember that.
